How on Earth does one select a layout using keyboards?!

[frankie_DJ]

I spent my entire afternoon trying to figure this out
It seems like such a simple requirement:

I should be able to switch between a slide editing window and a layout selection window with a simple keyboard stroke. Right?

Thanks for your help,
Frankie

Try Alter + V to pull down the View menu, and hit the underlined letter.

Thanks for the answer...but it doesn't work. Alt+V is for changing views, like from Normal to Slide Sorter etc.
I am fine with Normal view. I just want to switch between windows (or set the layout some other way) without taking hands of the keyboard.
